Yeon San-ho directed Train to Busan and will return to Netflix with JUNG_E. JUNG_E is set in the post-apocalyptic future, a 22nd century with a civil war.
The holding page is up on Netflix with a January 20th launch date.
Netflix describe the movie;
In a post-apocalyptic near-future, a researcher at an AI lab leads the effort to end a civil war by cloning the brain of a heroic soldier — her mother.
It’s tagged sci-fi, Korean, action & adventure, dramas and Asian action films.
Yeon San-ho, who writes as well as directs, did Hellbound this year about an angel of death. That’s also been running on Netflix.
The JUNG_E trailer doesn’t give much away, although it’s pretty striking. There are elements of Borg, and that towering statue makes me think of Lord of the Rings and Judge Dredd for some reason.
A wiki entry says the world is brought low first by climate change, then the war in the shelter the surviving humans hide in.
